Happiness is a clean bill of health from your Oncologist!
I went back to my Oncologist yesterday for the first time since the end of my chemotherapy treatment. It really wasn't any big deal for me......until I drove the familiar route to the hospital and surrounding medical buildings. As soon as I entered the parking area by Medical Building 2, my mind filled with memories of last summer when I was going through chemo. An uneasiness seized me for a moment. The feelings I felt back then came flooding over me - the anxiety, the fear, the uncertainty, the heat! (Last summer in Rocklin, we had many days over 100*.) As I parked and walked up to the building, I saw people who I thought were cancer patients and those who were there to support them. I thought of what they were currently going through. Then I thought of myself, a recovering cancer patient with the only physical sign of cancer to a casual observer, short hair that is in process of growing out. And I was thankful I was through chemo! I was thankful for my doctors and nurses. I was thankful for treatment for cancer. . . . And then I was even thankful for chemo! God was good to me. God was IS my strength!
The LORD is
my strength and my shield;
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
Health Update
At my appointment, the doctor went over the results of some blood work I had done last Thursday. And yes, thank the Lord, everything looked good! (Sigh of relief!) Yes, thank you Lord!
